"',oaawa r o ,To czZZ whom, zt may concern Be it known that I, JACK F.JAooBsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mobile, in thecounty of Mobile and Statey of Alabama, have invented certain new 'anduseful-Iinprovenients in Neckties, of which the following is aspecieation.

This invention relates more particularly to improvements in that classof neckt-ies known to the trade as imperial or iiowingend ties, whichare adapted to beA tied in 'what is known as a fourindiand knot.-

Such ties are usually made of silk or satin cut on the bias, and intying, they are very easily pulled out of shape; so easily, in fact,

that after they a're tied but a few times they become practicallyuseless, andthis has their salability. The object of the presentinvention is 'to obviate the above mentioned defect by transferring thepulling action from the main or ornamental end of the tie to the liningof the tie, and this is done by attaching to the lining an auxiliary tieend of an ornamental or displayable character preferably of the samematerial as the main or outside mate rial of the Va-dyacent end of thetie. This auxiliary tie end is adapted to be pulled by the user insteadof his pullingthe main end of the tie, as is now the custom.

My invention further relates to certain features hereinafter describedandmore particularly pointed out in the claims.

In order to more fully describe my invention, reference will be had tothe accompanying drawings wherein:

Figure 1, represents a side elevation 'partly in section, looking at theback of a tie of the above class embodying onespecitic form of my saidinvention; Fig. 2, a longitudinal central section thereof; Fig.V 3, anenlarged fragmentary' section taken in a plane at right angles to thatof Fig. showing the end of the tie, only, which is provided with myimproved end, and Fig.l

el, across-section online 4*-48 Fig. 3. y

In the accompanying drawings, 1 represents the outer material of thetie, having two main flowing ends 2 and 3. vAttached to the outermaterial of the tie, as by stitching Ll, at a point intermediate of itsends, aft-er the usual custom, is a lining 5. This lining is usuallymade of canton flannel or some other material-heavier than the outei`material of. the tie to, give body'to the same. This lining preferablyfits-closely along the specifieaan of Letters Patent.

ing tapered end 8. preferably of the same material as the main end 2.This stitching is preferably V-shaped, as shown, and points in thedirection of the adjacent tie end, the

vapex of the V coinciding substantially with the center line of thelining. By means of this form of stitching the strain is brought almostentirely on the centerv line of the lining.

It is intended rather than-on the main end 2, thereby putting all thepull or strain on the lining directly.- The main end 2 is not to begrasped or pulled at all, and for this reason may be in' using this tiethat the -wearer shall pull on the auxiliary end 8,

absolutely saved from the customary injurious elfects of being graspedand pulled. Moreover, the auxiliary end 8 being. entirely A free,exceptl at its point of attachment to the lining, is readily accessible,and since this may be of displayable material, preferably f of the samematerial as the adjacent main end of the tie, it may fly outside of therear flaps 9 and 10 of the said 'main end, and not detract from theappearance of the tie. This auxiliary end is itself preferably providedwith rearwardly folded laps or wings ll and l2, after the fashion of themain end 2.

This invention has an additional advan-.

tage in that an' ordinary flowing tie must be the same is susceptible ofmodiication without 'departing from the true spirit of the invention.

What I claim 1s: 1. A necktiehaving two main ends and a vlining madefast-to the outer material of the tie intermediate ofits ends and havingan end detached from the .outer material, and an auxiliary tie endattached to said end of said lining but detached from the ljacent maintie end'.

` 2;Ahneckt1'e having two` main flowing los ends and a lining made fastto the outer material of the tie at' a point .intermediate of said endsand free from saidrnaterial adjacent at least one of said ends, vand anauX- iliary flowing'tie end attached to said free end of said lining butdetached from said outer material except through said lining at said.intermediate points of attachment, said auxiliary end adapted to bepulledby the 10 user without pulling the adjacent main end of the tie,thereby transmitting said pull directly through the lining to the outermaterial of the tie at said intermediate point of attachment, saidauxiliary end 'being of 15 an ornamental character.

3. A necktie having two main ends and a vlining made fast to the outermaterial of the tie intermediate of its ends and having an end detachedfrom the outer material, and an auxiliary tie end stitched to said endof said lining but detached from the adjacer main tie end,said,stitching being direc diagonally inward to approximately th centerline of the lining in two directions t0 form a V-shaped figure,substantially as described. In testimony whereof I aflx my signature inpresence of two witnesses.
